Reply to comment by [deleted] in Interstellar - is Coop a terrible father? by [deleted]
It is 100% a part of his motivation in the film, it’s shocking to me you could call this one of your favorite movies and miss the subtext so dramatically.

It's pretty wild. Like you don't want to just reply "no" to someone who's written a wall of text like this but I mean wtf??? Did OP forget that AS SOON as he heard the mission was a farce he attempted to leave the planet to go home??

No way OP has seen Interstellar as many times as he claims. He even thinks the father in law is Coopers dad

It was either he goes or his child doesnt get to live a future. The trip was supposed to take only a couple of years, the whole incident with the ocean planet kinda fucked up that part of the plan.

Why though? What does waiting accomplish other than delaying the inevitable? As a parent you do whatever it takes to save your children and you do it immediately. That's what he did.

Saving the world [because he’s the only one who can and he won’t doom his children and humanity to certain death on an unlivable world]
That’s not specific or powerful?

You forgot how crop harvests are failing and they will slowly die of famine or conflict. It was an obvious choice but it certainly wasn't easy
